The Nisaku nejiri gama uses an angled sharpened stainless steel knife-like head to slice through the weeds. In testing, I found it worked better than a rake or a head in my mulched areas by cutting through the roots instead of just scraping the weeds.
In the reviews I read the biggest complaint seemed to be the handle being too short. I didn't find it uncomfortable as a taller person at 6'4", but it is about 15" shorter than a normal typical rake would be.
How could you use Roundup ANYWHERE around your kids...please research that stuff. It's banned in every country that has sense. Nice tool.
nisaku is the company that makes the tool. not the name of the tool
Yes, thanks.

How sharp should the blade be? Is it like knife-sharp? Sickle-sharp?
Less sharp than a kitchen knife, but it’s a bit of a different edge geometry since it is single bevel instead of double bevel like a kitchen knife
how do you prevent future growth? mulch?
A nice layer of mulch works very well yes. Weed fabric under it tends to create an issue later when it stops being effective. You could also put cardboard or newspaper under the mulch as a barrier that won’t cause you headaches later when it’s time to re-up.
My wife said try on plants with roots
This is basically an advanced hoe so it works great on roots of younger plants or weeds, but wouldn't work as well on woody roots if that is what she is asking.
Isn't it too short in length?
I don’t think so personally. It could be a touch longer but then there may be too much bend introduced.
